touching & very well done, 28 December 2008
10/10
Author: Motherspot from Netherlands

This is one of the most beautiful films i'v seen lately , concerning human interaction. a young girl , having trouble in adapting at school...is send to her grandmother , who lives in a beautiful garden, nature sanctuary somewhere in a Japanese forest. Granny is a born English lady who teaches the young girl all kinds of lessons , ... the girl is having a great time at her grandmothers , is learning a lot about love & live... the scenes in this film are lovely and tranquil...a pleasure to watch.the film score is wonderful. and the story in all is simple but moving. the ending makes you cry. nowhere is this film's sentimentality corny or unreal. a wonderful story , well acted and told in a touching way.
